Boys, cities, personalities, memes
Jan. 22nd, 2003 02:44 pmBecause I hate my job and I don't feel like telling the story of London quite yet. The meme is:
Why are you reading this journal?
I'm not asking all that "what do you think of me" crap because I don't think you can get a clear picture of me from this journal. Far from it.
The 10 Hottest Guys, according to YM
Before you say it: Only two of them would put me in the bad place. One is older than I am! And I know this because I work in the media industry, so I am comped on YM, the March issue of which landed on my desk this morning. So, on with the show:
Milo Ventimiglia--Jess on Gilmore Girls, and despite his cuteness, the reason I stopped watching the show. I have no great love for triangles, and I especially hate good boy-nice girl-bad boy ones. (Which is why I also don't really like Draco/Hermione/Harry or Draco/Ginny/Harry triangles. Bit facile, really)
Jensen Ackles--CJ on Dawson's Creek. That show is still on?
David Gallagher--Simon on 7th Heaven. Again, that show is still on?
Penn Badgley--Joel on Do Over, a show I have never seen. He looks like Johnny Depp, so it's a bit been-there-done-that.
Ashton Kutcher--sigh.
Michael Vartan--Vaughn on Alias, the best thing in Never Been Kissed. Apparently single and 34. Must get introduction.
Will Estes--JJ on American Dreams, possibly the worst show on television
Gregory Smith--Ephram on Everwood, which really isn't a bad show.
Jared Padalecki--Dean on Gilmore Girls. LOVE him.
Tom Welling--Sorry, all you Smallville fans. He's just not my type.

Congratulations, you're Boston, the rebel city.
What US city are you? Take the quiz by Girlwithagun
Considered to be the birthplace of American Independence, Boston is well known for it's stubborn and forward thinking nature. With it's small streets that beckon you to explore them, it is the perfect place to live if you would like to walk everywhere. It is because of this that Boston is considered closer to Europe than the rest of the states. The residents there not only have their own unique pronunciation and vocabulary, but their own grammatical construct as well. If you plan on visiting, make sure you understand their language to avoid being snickered at.
Unsurprising, actually. I am a Yankee, after all--a proper New England Yankee, not that amorphous "American" Yankee like you Brits (mis)use the term. I am relatively certain that, say,
nmalfoy would be unamused if you called her a Yank.
My personality is rated 25. What is yours?
Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
Wow. It actually sounds like me. Huh.

I'm a bit old for mags like that, but every time I pick one up, I wonder if I was that inane at that age. I'm sure I was.
I agree with your comments on all except Tom Weller - just so pretty.
And, I still watch Gilmore Girls, the triangle thing is mostly gone, except last night's episode was very annoying.

Okay, more seriously, it started with Seamus and Dean and then, well, it's been entertaining enough to keep reading ever since. I suspect I like the balance between practicality ("No resolutions [...] Make the change or don't make it, I say" and "I'm not asking all that 'what do you think of me' crap because I don't think you can get a clear picture of me from this journal. Far from it" (even while I figure the picture is of the LJ-self)) and, yes, humor with an awareness of flakiness (the anecdote about P and his fungal obsession), with a dose of energy and in-a-hurry-ness on the side. And Pepys. You don't seem as if you readily tolerate wastes of your time.
